A

My father is a truck driver, and he has been for over 30 years. He works more than 12 hours every day, and weekends.

One evening my father brought my brother and me to pick up our mother. We arrived at the Eagles Hall and were waiting in the truck when my father smelled something. He looked behind our truck and could see smoke coming from a house, a block behind us. He drove quickly to the house. The smoke was thick, and we saw fire when he opened the door and went inside. He came out with a woman and rushed back in for her children. He didn't stop until all the children were out. When the firemen arrived we went back to get my mother.

My father didn't even mention it to Mom. We had to tell her what we had seen. My father said that nothing much happened and not to worry. The next day, it was reported in the newspaper that the people in the house were trying to find my father to thank him. My father just said they had more important things to care about.

My father has a metal detector. He used it all over the town, in fields, bus stations, parks—almost everywhere. He found countless amounts of change, jewelry, and junk. The most valuable thing he found was a pure gold nursing pin, a badge(徽章)given to nurses when they graduated. There was a name on it, and a date in the early 1920s. Dad did some research and learned that the owner was now in a nursing home several hundred miles away.

The next Sunday he drove to see her. She was overjoyed. The pin had been lost for over 50 years. The woman asked my father how much he wanted for the pin and he refused any reward. But the woman became upset that he would accept nothing, so he compromisedby accepting gas money for the trip—though I am sure that he didn't tell her how much the drive really cost.

Any one of these events makes my dad a hero, but he never stops. I've learned from him that being a hero means doing whatever you can whenever you can.

11.What happened when they were waiting in the truck?

A. Their father quickly drove the truck away.
B. Their father opened the door and went into the truck.
C. A house behind their truck was on fire.
D. The firemen came out with a woman.

12.What did the owner of the house want to do according the report?

A. She wanted to tell the writer's mother about it.
B. She wanted to find the writer's father to thank him.
C. She wanted to rebuild her house.
D. She wanted to mention it to the firemen.

13.What did his father use to find the nursing pin?

A. A metal detector. B. The local Eagles.
C. The badges given to nurses. D. The report in the newspaper.

14.What does the underlined word "compromised" mean in Chinese?

A. 连累 B. 折中 C. 违背 D. 妥协

15.What can we learn from the passage?

A. In time of danger, think of your own safety first.
B. No pains, no gains.
C. Being a hero means doing what you can at any time.
D. To help others is to help ourselves.

B

    I'm Jenny. I was moved by a story last summer. When I went to a friend's house as a guest, I found a wooden sign hung on the door. It reads, "Before entering, please put down your trouble. When returning, bring back your happiness."
    After entering the house, I saw the wife and the husband were both harmonious(和睦的), two children were friendly and polite and warmth filled the house.
    I naturally asked them about the wooden sign. The wife looked at the husband with a smile, "You tell the story." The husband then looked back at the wife, "You say because it was your creativity(创意)."
    Finally, the wife said softly and slowly, "Once when I got home, I was surprised to see a sleepy and tired face in the elevator(电梯) mirror, with the worried eyes. So I thought when my children and husband faced this worried face, what would they feel? If I also faced such a face, what would I feel? Then I could imagine my children's silence and my husband's indifference(冷淡) at the dinner table. The next day, I wrote a wooden sign and hung it on the door to remind myself. As a result, the sign reminded myself and the whole family. Something surprising happened in this way. Not only our family but also the guests to our house always become happy."
